Picture (Not So) Perfect!

Today Cameron and I went to get professional family pictures done for the first time since Miley has been in our family. I have been wanting to do this for a while now....I just kept putting it off for one reason or another. We figured as long as we were there we might as well get some pictures of Miley, now that she has reached the milestone of standing while holding onto something. We thought it would be no big deal...Miley is usually a ham for the camera. But we were in for a not so pleasant surprise!

Miley HATED it. She (fake) cried pretty much the whole time, and we really only got a couple of usable shots. As for the family pictures....I like the one we got, but they only took about two. I kind of wish they would have taken a FEW more! So here is the rundown of our photo session for you.

*Let me just add...the pictures below are ALL the pictures they gave us. You would think they could have taken just a few more, right??

Not loving the scary fluffy rainbow thing they keep poking at me!!


You guys think I am going to smile?? You've got another thing coming!


Looking slightly concerned....


All I want to do is stand-don't you guys know I am SOO over the sitting thing?? (one of the pictures we ended up getting!!)!


I guess I will give you guys this forced smile for all your effort....(another one of the shots we ended up getting).


I will smile for you....as long as you let me chew on my sunglasses.


Family photo 1 (out of only TWO that they took....this is the one we ended up getting).


Family photo 2

So there you go folks. Our very first attempt of professional family pictures. We may in the future just stick with the Clark Family Photographers (aka Cameron's dad or one of his many brothers) to take our pictures with all of their fancy equipment. Hey...at least Miley wouldn't be scared of them, right?

We still haven't gone to go get professional pictures done since our wedding! I want to so bad and you have inspired me to just go get it done. I think your pictures turned out really cute. LOVE the big bow! And even though its sad that she was scared in the first shot I think its sooo cute. sorry I must be a bad person to think a crying child is cute.

The family picture you chose is DARLING! What an adorable family! And I think all the pics turned out great!

Your experience sounds similar to ours!
I think these pictures turned out cute, Wend! I really like the sunglass picture. And I love both family pictures. You look GREAT!

*Don't worry Jeriann, I think a crying kid is cute, too (we actually ordered a picture of Bode crying).

P.S. And if it make you feel any better, you got WAY more shots to choose from than I did. I only got four (I guess that happens when you have an unhappy kiddo the whole time).

Yeah, I don't like the photo places either. It's like they have a certain number of pictures they are aloud to take. Quantity vs. quality. That's pretty much why Brennan got the camera and we are so glad he did.

Wendy, it sounds like such a frustrating experience! I do think that the pictures turned out really cute, but it's too bad that you only got TWO family pictures! You have a great-looking family, though - the family photos are very cute!
